Mario Garcia

Mario Garcia serves as Velentium’s VP of Manufacturing, bringing more than 22 years of experience in the medical device industry. For more than 12 of those years, he has led international and multi-site manufacturing operations of class 1, II, and III medical devices and products, working with companies such as CR Bard, Integer, Avanos, and B. Braun. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronic & Industrial Engineering from the Technological Institute of Chihuahua.

He has always been interested in engineering, developing a passion for it at a young age. He saw a lot of potential in manufacturing, noting that it offered multiple opportunities to grow as a professional. In 2000, during the economic recession, he saw a rapid and dramatic impact in all manufacturing industries except the medical industry, which prompted him to investigate it. People can often delay the purchase of most items, but they’ll always need to prioritize taking care of their health.

Mario was attracted to the opportunity at Velentium after a conversation with Dan Purvis, who championed Mario’s chance to turn the company into something bigger, something that is going to impact and touch a lot of lives even more so than it already has. “Velentium’s manufacturing is currently on the smaller side, so he want to contribute his knowledge and experience to make this a strong and notable manufacturing company within the industry.”

Mario thinks that what separates Velentium from its competitors are the really good people, the strong technical knowledge, and the good leadership team. “He want to provide opportunities for more people to work with us in order to support more families. It’s not just about the employees and making them happy, but to him, it’s about helping keep families secure. He is confident that the manufacturing will grow quickly because he have the right people to get us there.”

Additionally, during his interview with Dan, Mario was able to express his personal values of accountability, integrity, and honesty, which aligned with the company’s values of Honorable, Results++, and Humble Charisma. “Everyone at Velentium knows the Core Values, and every single action from top to bottom is driven by adhering to those values.”
